BEIJING, Oct. 4 (Xinhua) — The 120-hectare Baihe Urban Forest Park, in Beijing's northeastern suburb, has been opened to the public during the National Day holiday, according to the government of Beijing's Miyun District.
The park, which started construction in last November, sits on the old site of a landfill, where hills were once damaged by the garbage-disposing facility, the district bureau of landscape and forestry said.
With a 5-hectare man-made lake linking with the Baihe River, one water source of the metropolis, the park is home to 83,000 nursery-grown plants, including poplars, elms and other indigenous tree species, as well as Chinese rose and salvia.
More plant species, including those that can attract birds and insects to form a stable ecosystem will be added, the bureau said.
Miyun is an important area of ecological conservation and water source in Beijing.
